When things are investigated, knowledge is extended. When knowledge is extended, the will becomes sincere. When the will is sincere, the mind is correct. When the mind is correct, the self is cultivated. -- Confucius

Politically correct ideals are garbage: true wisdom comes from decades of deep thought and neutral observation. Only a so-called sociopath could ascertain wisdom from this crazy world in a neutral way. Cool thoughts- uncorrupted by modern politics, social norms, or societal ideals- are required for wisdom. Questioning everything, and going against the grain on all universally accepted norms is the path to true intelligence. The Gods notice this.

I remember when it was taboo for movies to show rapes, and now it is common. Other violent and weird things have been creeping in more and more as well, which is normally not a big deal. Censorship is crap, and prudes are idiots. But where does it end; will the line ever be drawn? It seems like there are so many movies being made anymore that the people making them will do anything to out-shock the others. They think this sells.

This twisted fad, combined with the obsession over "reality", are making movies less like movies and more like documentaries on how to film something sickening. It is common anymore to see a one and a half hour movie accompanied by over three hours of "bonus" footage. The producers, directors, writers, costume designers, et al, all sit around pontificating about why they did this and that for every instant of the movie. How this mundane, extraneous fluff can possibly be interesting to anyone is a true mystery.

Regardless, the most disturbing thing about movies anymore is the growing acceptance of vivid animal cruelty. Like rape, it used to never be shown- but now is more and more. I have been told that it does not matter, because it is not real. The animal groups supposedly watch while filming in order to certify that 'no animals were harmed' and so on. But this is not always true.

Consider the film "Cannibal Holocaust". It shows several animals really being killed. It is definitely real and no one monitored the making of this sick movie. A better known movie is called "The Collector". Available at Redbox, it is a "Saw"-esque gory horror flick. In one scene acid is spread over a floor, and a cat walks across it, melting as it goes. Still alive, its remaining body gets shut in a window. It does not look very real, but is disgusting nonetheless. With all the human butchery in this film, was the cat torture really needed?

The worst movie I have seen yet is the newest in a string of exorcism-themed films, called "The Last Exorcism". This movie is one of those insane camera-shaking films, which makes you physically ill after awhile. It is also obviously low budget, poorly acted, and very slow getting started. Then the end is an obvious knock off of the Blair Witch Project- with the camera crew getting chased down and killed while their own camera records it. It ends with the camera filming the ground. So un-original...They also have a title pic of the possessed gal bent over backwards, which is the only real contortion she does in the whole movie. I believe they wanted people to think there would be creepy contortions like in the Emily Rose movie, though there just wasn't. On top of all this, is the animal cruelty. The possessed gal gets up at night, decides to pick up the camera of the crew who is sleeping in the house, walks out to the barn, and kills a cat with a hammer. This scene was completely uncalled for, very real looking, and completely revolting.

The end credits listed an "animal wrangler"(Louis Pomes) and a "cat wrangler"(Alissa Whitney). What are their jobs? [If anyone knows how to contact Alissa Whitney, please let me know]. More disturbing yet is the fact that there is no mention in the credits whatsoever about any monitoring by any animal welfare group. Even if the cat was not really killed, you have to wonder why there was no monitoring. Because they don't care what anyone thinks? That would be my guess. Don't waste your dollar.

It is only rated PG-13 despite the cat-gore, and lists merely "disturbing violent content and terror, some sexual references and thematic material." I frequently notice absurd rating warnings, such as "teen smoking", "crude humor", and other inane violations in various movies. But animal cruelty has apparently not made it to the list yet on the MPAA's List of Naughty Things.

That movie is a good example of the direction movies are going, especially with more and more low-budgets coming out. If animal cruelty becomes okay to start showing for its shock value, then what will be next? Perhaps graphic depictions of child beatings, or molestations even (as in A Serbian Film). Maybe instead of mentioning a character having diarrhea, they will show it coming out...likely, as they already show vomiting close-ups more and more these days. I am far from a prude, and I love horror and gore movies- but even I am getting turned off by these stupid and disturbing trends among the producers of newer movies. Where will it end?

APPONO ASTOS

Wisdom is All

Appono Astos- meaning

Since a constant stream of people seem to be searching for this term and its meaning, I am posting it here now.

In England once, some crop circle researchers pressed a message into a hillside for the circle makers to read:"Talk to Us".The next morning a reply was found on the opposite hill- lettering which was found to be genuine and not man made.(true crop formations are bent on a cellular level, unbroken, magnetized, containing rare elements, have soil anomalies, interfere with electronics, and are usually bent in opposing or interwoven patterns. man-made ones are simply bent and break many stems, and have no special properties.)The reply was difficult to translate as it turned out to be an obscure dialect of Latin (Post Augustan-) that was written in an old Knights Templar code. It translated to Appono Astos, which meansWe oppose cunning and deceit. This means the true circle makers were tired of the circle hoaxes and the govt. suppression of info on the real ones. The British Army was proven to have been deeply involved in hoaxing circles and burning real ones on many occasions.

All deceit should be opposed, especially by cunning govt.s and their pawns. Truth is all.

Brexit thoughts...

Seems awesome that a public referendum can decide a country's future! It not only worked, but the P.M. quit to boot. Although I knew that all ballots in the UK are paper- none electronic- I was leery of some kind of vote tampering, perhaps because it is so prevalent in america. Now that brexit has succeeded, ulterior motives are seeping out that makes one wonder if it was indeed rigged. Funny how the success could result in harming trade with Russia and more influence in NATO by the UK and america, which means even more hawkishness. How deliciously convenient for the usa.

Now the Netherlands, Spain, Greece, and others are considering similar referendums. The Scots are wanting to secede from the UK again too. And many feel that Ireland will rejoin with its north counties.

Long term, this will make it more difficult for america to control Europe as individual countries than it had when they were one super-state. Therefore it is all good. Go for it Europe- run your own countries again.

But this site endorses all of the above as interesting and worth a look! Definition of word is here. Note that the definition is wrong, saying it originated with Superman in 1982, when actually it originated in 1962 for the old movie on top of this list. Most if not all online dictionaries have this same mistake!

all of these are real words that can be made from 'brainiac'- look them up!

Americans

Thinking is rare these days, very rare. The effects of 50 years of fluoride is taking its toll on the vast majority of Americans. Their memories, their logic, their long term thinking, their common sense- all fading, fading, fading...

I don't know how many times I have heard people say "I need my meds!" "I don't read." "Got a smoke?" "I could never be a vegetarian- I love my meat too much." "Tap water is fine." "Pot is as safe as cigarettes." "Smokers have rights!" "Drugs are a personal choice.." ...ad nauseum.

Just like the true addictive nature of meat consumption or heroin, tap water drinking has become the newest thoughtless action amongst millions. Destroying your brain is of no concern anymore, none at all. After all, did the govt. tell you it is unhealthy? If not then don't worry about it. Smile and kill your brains while they feed you rat poison...it's ok. Start young, folks. Then fight tooth and nail against reason to perpetuate your addicitions: street drugs, excessive prescriptions, over the counter meds, tobacco, meat, city water- it's all the same.

crusades: redux

this is one of the lower estimates of the civilian casualties only. it does not account for injuries, maimings, birth defects from irradiated soil and air (DU weapon use), disease from ruined water supplies, deaths from lack of food and medicine, the torture, the hundreds of billions of dollars spent, etc. etc...but the bush and cheney families made a lot of money from it so it is 'okay'. the fact that their former regime had nothing to do with 9/11, and that no WMDs were ever found, is never talked about. see also this recent study.

cinnamon challenge

this blogger was shocked to learn of a new fad called 'cinnamon challenge'. teens try to eat a spoonful of cinnamon. for some odd reason they have made a viral net phenomenon of it. why do people like to hurt themselves and act stupid?i tried it once years ago but not because of a net dare. it was because i read in many places that cinnamon lowers blood sugar and alleviates diabetes. you can even buy capsules of it for this. i thought, why buy when i can get some from the kitchen and use a tablespoon? it was horrid, fiery, grainy, inedible crap. i felt like dying for a couple minutes. and now, this is a fad? with 30,000 videos so far?at least i had a good and innocent reason to try it. what's their excuse?cinnamon challenge-- more like logic challenge.

Jamie's Diet Plan

These 3 rules are the perfect diet:

1. Eat less

2. Exercise more

3. Eat and drink as healthily as possible

To expound on these rules a little:

1. Eating less means do not eat until your stomach hurts. Period. Then eat only "one serving" according to the package guidelines. Not much? It's ok, just wait until you have another stomach ache. A pattern will ensue and your body will grow accustomed to it.

2. Exercising more means walk around your neighborhood every day without exception, no matter the weather. Go farther every day, find a hill to go up. Keep it up until you can run up the hill without getting winded. Then start jogging. OR, join a gym and use it daily.

3. Eating/drinking as healthily as possible means only eat foods that are healthy. Do not be fooled by fads or propaganda. Ever wonder why vegetarians are so healthy? Look into it. And drink only natural 100% fruit juices, distilled water, and natural hot teas. Sweeten only with stevia. Aspartame is bad for you, tap water is bad for you. This rules out "diet" sodas, which keep you fat. In general, eat lots of vegetables, and some beans, fruits, breads, and pastas. Avoid sugars and white flours, and take vitamin C and chromium to boost metabolism. Fish oils and carbs are widely misperceived. Fish oil is bad for you, carbs are not. Flaxseed oil clears arteries better than fish oil but without the sea toxins; and carbs do not turn into sugar and fatten you to the degree the Atkins scam has everyone believing.

Just do a little research.

Easier said than done, I know. But this is simple; commonsense. Just do it.

----------------------------------NOTE:about a year ago someone emailed me requesting permission to make an app out of the plan above. I said sure, and once it was done she asked for my opinion. I did not write back, but will post it here:-it appears to have nothing to do with the plan I wrote-it involves eating meat-it does not mention my name or site at all, which is improper if it is supposedly based upon my ideas.-I suspect an attempt to gain free advertising for their diet game on my site.- I am glad my name was not attached to it.-reiterating...I condone nothing that involves carnivorous behavior.

ILLEGAL ALIENS CONTRIBUTE GREATLY

HEALTH CARE: Since 1990, 70 hospital emergency rooms and trauma centers have closed in California in large part because of free care provided to illegals. (NY TIMES, Saturday, October 6, 2007). More than 40 million American citizens are without health insurance, but their tax dollars pay for illegals to be treated free. (Health Insurance Coverage: 2001, U.S. Census Bureau).

DISEASE: Illegals also account for over 65% of communicable diseases such as TB, hepatitis, leprosy, and AIDS. (The Centers for Disease Control).

EDUCATION: US citizens pay $7.4 billion dollars each year to pay for the free education that US law requires be given illegals. At least 19 states allow illegals to attend their public universities and only pay in-state tuition, while legal residents of neighboring states must pay out-of-state tuition rates which are three to eight times more. (Federation for American Immigration Reform).

LOYALITY TO COUNTRY: Co-founder of MALDEF, Mario Obledo, to whom President Clinton awarded the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, boasted, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave.” (Ray Briem Radio Show and Tom Lykis Radio Show).

EMPLOYMENT: Illegals have already cost American workers $133 billion in salary cuts and job losses. (The Center for Immigration Studies).

CRIME: It is against federal law to enter this country illegally, thus all illegal aliens are criminals. If an American citizen breaks a law, he is not given handouts, he goes to jail. (US Code). A governmentstudy of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003 found that these 55,322 illegal aliens were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. (GAO Report, April 2005).

TAXES: Illegals cost the taxpayer $10 billion more than they contribute in taxes each year. (Center for Immigration Studies).
